Hellooo.

I have an audio texhnica at-lp120-usb turntable that I'm currently running into Carver receiver from I think the late eighties and into some home theatre center speakers from boston acoustics.

I would like to run into a tube preamp then an amp and I to a pair of bookshelf speakers, as long as I can get some decent bass this way. The room is about 12x22 ft. This is only for records. If radio was a possibility as well that would be cool, but I have a sound bar in the room qfor all my digital streaming, Bluetooth, aux cable and tv needs.

I realize people have a lot to say about tubes.. coming from my background as a musician, I really like them. I want a tube pre because I don't think I can afford a tube amp.

I don't have a lot of money.. everything should fit in the same price range as that turntable of possible. I imagine I may need to spend more on speakers to get better bass? Or do I need a sub? Not sure. All help is welcome.

Thanks
The Boy
